AI Development Consultant
Who Actually Builds the AI
Most AI consultants sell decks. I build working AI systems. Autonomous agents, LLM integrations, RAG pipelines — AI that your users actually rely on, not just a chatbot demo that falls apart in production.
What I build for AI-first US startups
AI that ships is worth 100 AI strategies that do not. I focus on building AI products that work — not presentations about what AI could do.
Autonomous AI Agents
Agents that reason, plan, and execute tasks — with proper error handling, retry logic, and monitoring. Not demos.
RAG Pipelines
Connect LLMs to your actual data. Accurate, up-to-date responses grounded in your knowledge base.
LLM Integration
OpenAI, Claude, Gemini — integrated into your product with proper abstraction layers for flexibility.
AI Feature Development
AI-powered search, recommendations, summarization, classification — built into your product, not bolted on.
AI Workflow Automation
Automate document processing, data extraction, and QA — things that used to need humans, now handled by AI.
AI Observability
Monitor outputs, track costs, detect drift. You know when your AI misbehaves before users complain.
Why US startups hire me over AI agencies
AI that ships vs. AI demos
Most AI projects fail because they look impressive in presentations but fall apart in production. I build AI that users depend on — not prototypes that break under real usage.
Cost control from day one
LLM costs spiral without architecture. I implement caching, batching, and smart model selection so your AI costs stay predictable.
I build AND advise
I can consult on AI strategy, or I can build the AI system myself. Most clients want both — strategic guidance with someone who can execute.
Production-grade, not prototype-grade
Guardrails, error handling, fallbacks, monitoring. Your AI does not crash your product when it encounters an edge case.
Direct access to the builder
No AI consultants who resell OpenAI APIs. You work directly with someone who has built autonomous agents in production.
US time zone, fast turnaround
I work with SF, NY, and Austin founders daily. Slack, async updates, scheduled calls — whatever keeps your startup moving.
“We hired an AI agency to build our autonomous agent. Three months later we had a demo that worked for them. Usama rebuilt the whole thing in 6 weeks — production-ready, with proper error handling. It has been running 24/7 for 8 months without a single crash.”

Frequently asked questions
What AI models do you use?
All of them — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, open-source models. I pick the right model for the task, budget, and latency requirements.
How do you prevent AI from making costly mistakes?
I implement validation layers, cost caps, human-in-the-loop checkpoints for high-stakes decisions, and real-time monitoring. AI failures do not become product failures.
Can you add AI to our existing product?
Yes. Most of my AI work is adding AI capabilities to existing products. I integrate cleanly with your stack — no ripping and replacing.
How much does AI development cost?
Simple LLM integrations start at a few thousand. Autonomous agents with RAG can run higher. I give fixed-price quotes after scoping.
What about AI compliance?
I implement proper data handling for GDPR and similar regulations. I also assess whether your AI use case triggers specific compliance requirements.
Are you available for US time zones?
Yes. I work with Pacific to Eastern time zones. Most of my AI clients are in SF and NY.
